Chapter Seventy-Three: I Heard Your Brother Has Been Poor Lately
Laura froze there, as if she didn't understand what Roy meant. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Cold sweat was like a fat little worm, writhing and burrowing out of her skin.
"Otherwise, let's look at my house first?"
With that, Roy motioned to Jerry.
Jerry clicked on his star brain terminal. As Roshiu's henchman, he, like Kane, can view and partially invoke Roy's father's assets. He turned the virtual screen of the Star Brain terminal to the maximum and projected it to the center of the room, forming an invisible light curtain to ensure that everyone present could see the words on it.
There was a sound of gasping.
The record of the Cook family's 50 million liabilities is prominently displayed at the top in bold and large font.
Under the creditor's rights in the Luo family's possession, there is also an appendix with a detailed asset record of the Cook family.
The bottom row is the total, and even if there is a thousandth separator, it would take three to five minutes to figure out how much the Vincent family owed. To avoid being dazzled, you have to do it twice.
But it's not any number that's really shocking.
Instead, on the asset form, there is an inconspicuous little print with her brother's name filled in.
Vincent? Baron Cook.
Baron.
Laura stared at the two little words. The bright red lipstick couldn't hide her snow-white lips.
"This ...... It can't be ......"
"Nothing is impossible." Roy put down the unfinished melon seeds and clapped his hands clean, "You should know better than me how much money your family owes." ”
Laura does know better than Roy.
For as long as she can remember, or even earlier, the Cook family has been living on debt. Spending someone else's money is a little different from spending your own money. Even if she doesn't give birth, she can feel something.
But borrowing money does not delay her family's fine food and clothing. Some big consortia took the initiative to send money, just to exchange her brother's signature. The earldom is a golden goose that cannot be exchanged.
But the title of this earl is gone?
How is this possible!
Their family's title has been hereditary, if not thousand, but eight hundred years!
Laura's gaze stiffly moved upward.
"That's right. My family bought about 50 million debts, and then asked your family for money. Your family can't afford it, so it's so. ”
Roy shrugged.
She noticed some changes in the asset entries Jerry had shown. Not only his family is collecting debts from the Cook family, but the other creditors are counting one by one, and they are all reaching out to the Cook family to ask for money.
The wall fell down and everyone pushed it.
Anyway, the earl who has lost the title of earl, even if he is not completely kicked out of the aristocratic class, in the eyes of the big conglomerates, is no different from a homeless man sleeping on a park bench.
"Laura, when did you get to Cardostar?"
Roy asked her.
The problem of eating, Laura can solve it in Lezhi as Roy's sister-in-law. But the Luo family does not have a chain hotel, and the rest has to be paid by Laura out of her own pocket.
Vincent must be hollowing out the rice bowl at the moment and trying to find a way to pay off his debts. If he could get in touch with Laura, he would never let Laura run to the carnival to eat, drink and have fun.
Laura didn't squeak.
It doesn't matter if you don't speak. Her increasingly pale face was enough to speak for itself.
She finally understood why her brother had suddenly sent her a message three days ago asking her to hurry back.
But she was playing in a simulated haunted house inside the carnival venue. People sleep in warm and cozy oval bins, and neural networks are connected to the playground's monkey brain biocomputer. The brains of these endangered bipeds are much more difficult to use than humans, so they can't be used for starship piloting, but it's okay to make a lifelike haunted house. In the simulated haunted house, she met a handsome man, and when she came out, she happily followed him to the restaurant to eat, but the man ran away halfway through the meal, and the restaurant owner who came to ask her for the account told her that the man was famous for tricking the little girl into eating. Enraged, Laura smashed the store, returned to the hotel and cried all night, turning off all communication tools, and naturally ignoring the news that her brother asked her to call back immediately.
The sky has changed.
What should she do?
"But it doesn't seem to be going well for our family." Roy tilted his head, studying the records on the virtual screen, his legs swaying back and forth idly, "You happen to be here, do you want to solve your brother's urgent needs?" ”
Anyway, since she can come to the carnival to enjoy, she must have enough private money.
Jerry placed the Star Brain bracelet on the table and bounced towards Laura.
Laura was still stunned at first, but when Jerry walked up, she suddenly came back to her senses, pushed Jerry away with a scream, turned around and crashed through the crowd, and rushed out.
"It's so violent. There are so many people eating melons outside. Jerry commented idly, turning his head pitifully to Roy as if he was afraid of punishment for doing something wrong, "Miss, I messed up." ”
"Alright. It's okay. ”
Roy waved his hand. Jerry did it on purpose, couldn't she see it?
Jerry "burst into tears" and returned to Roy with a grin. "Miss, do you really want to collect debts from her?"
Roy snorted. Didn't pay much attention to it. If Jerry didn't want to collect the debt, how could he let Laura go. "You can do it. Leave two subsistence money. Girls, begging on the street doesn't look good. ”
Jerry replied with a "yes", and then happily picked up the Star Brain Bracelet and began to operate.
When the frightened Laura ran back to her residence, before she could drink a sip of water, she was broken into by the hotel security guard and "invited" to the street. These days, the barbershop, nail salon, café, and car rental agency on credit all came to ask for the bill, and soon scraped the last bit of her family money clean. Poor Laura was alone in the sun, her lips were chapped, and she wanted to buy a bottle of honey water, but she was kicked out by the shopkeeper.
really responded to that sentence, I could run away from the monk, but I couldn't run away from the bank account.
But that's all for later. Roy wouldn't care, and Jerry wouldn't care.
Roy smiled, his eyes falling on the girls.
Just now, the group of girls unconsciously divided into two factions, and Laura ran suddenly, and the girls of these two factions were stunned and didn't get together. The group of girls who had been around Laura and helped Laura pull Hannah away were closer to Roy.
So Roy smiled at them first.
"Does anyone want to talk to Vincent? I can help with introductions. It's not a mistress, it's a wife. ”
The girls were like eating dirt. Some daring girls hurriedly spoke out to ensure that they would never have such thoughts.
They were either the daughters of a minor nobleman or a wealthy merchant whose purpose was simply Vincent's earl title. Now Vincent is like them, no, it's worse than them, who would want to touch it.
Roy kept smiling, they said, she listened, she didn't take it to heart anyway, and then looked at the other group of girls.
"I, we've never wanted to rob your man."
Some of them had the audacity to argue.
Roy remained noncommittal.
This group of girls is still relatively long-eyed. I heard Vincent couldn't be relied on.
"Alright."
Roy jumped off the table and clapped his hands. "Thank you for your patronage and welcome to your next visit. Store manager, billing. ”
The store manager immediately distributes the bill.
Girls, you look at me, I look at you, and they all reluctantly but very consciously dig into their pockets.
Without Laura, they don't pay, don't want to walk out of this door.
The clerks were busy for a while, and after collecting the money, they sent them out of the door, and then persuaded the onlookers at the door to disperse in a rude way.
Roy twisted his neck and shoulders. It's finally clean.
"Miss Roy."
The store manager cautiously came to her side, unable to speak.
